30 Mars : Sparkling Point : Quel avenir pour l'ePaper ?

Le prochain rendez-vous [SparklingPoint] du mardi 30 mars 2010 de 18h45 ? 20h30 accueillera, pour sa quarante-neuvi?me ?dition, Jean-Fran?ois Declercq, AppePaper.com, autour du th?me :

"Quel avenir pour l'ePaper ?"

Cette ann?e (2010) le march? des eReaders conna?t une ?volution importante :

On voit les premiers lecteurs ePaper en vente ? la FNAC
Le Kindle d'Amazon atteint une certaine vitesse (3 millions d'exemplaires)
l'iPad pourra ?tre pr?-command? le 3 avril
Google s'appr?te ? lancer Google Editions
Les solutions de lecture sur t?l?phone se d?veloppent ? toute vitesse (ex: Issuu.com sur Android)

Ceci cr?e un march? technologique complexe pour les lecteurs, les ?diteurs, les ?crivains.

Dans cette jungle, on peut se poser deux questions :

1. Y a-t-il encore un avenir pour le papier ?lectronique ?

En effet, la plupart des liseuses utilisent des technologies ?crans plats (LED, OLED) combin?es ? un ?cran "touch" (iPad, Google Tablet, t?l?phones...), ce qui permet une meilleure ergonomie gr?ce ? une meilleure r?activit? de l'?cran et le support de la couleur. Cependant, l'encre ?lectronique ?volue et a quelques atouts. Quelques cas d'utilisation seront d?crits. (plus de 30 cas d'utilisation du papier ?lectronique identifi?s).

2. Quel livre ?lectronique choisir ?

Que je sois lecteur, ?crivain, ?diteur, face aux poids lourds que sont Apple, Google, Amazon, lequel choisir ? iPad, Kindle, Sony Reader, Bookeen ? Existe-t-il une alternative ? Comment faire du livre "durable" ?
Une approche "architecturale" permet de d?couper le probl?me et faire des choix strat?giques. Quelques sc?narios seront pr?sent?s pour illustrer :

Pourquoi Amazon ?crit des applications pour l'iPad ?
Quelle est l'importance des standards comme ePUB ?
Quelle est l'importance des DRM ?

And if Microsoft Courier was the best for eReader applications ?

It has been more than 2 months now that I'have been looking at eReaders. After the iPad, it's now the turn of Microsoft to show off a model called the Courier.
if we want to maximize the usefulness of an eReader like a Tablet, it needs to support the largest number of applications. Let's have a look at the major options :

The iPAD can reuse all the iPhone/iPod applications. If there are a lot of those applications, let's note that they need to be developer specifically to run on Apple's products.
The Google Tablet will support any web development (web sites) thanks to ChromeOS which has a strong web focus. If one wants to work offline, those web applications will probably have to be ported to ChromeOS, for using its asynchronous services. There is also the possibility for Google to leverage the Android market and allow those (Java) applications to run on ChromeOS.
The Kindle has its own (Java based) Software Development Kit (SDK). Again, one needs to develop specifically for the Kindle.
Some Other readers, mainly those with ePaper screens, use Linux as Operating System. You than need to make sure your application will run with the distribution and ePaper screen (GTK+?) constraints.

Now let's look at a "Windows based" eReader as -I suppose- Microsoft Courier. From an application point of view, such a device might well be one of the best platform for the "applications of ePaper":

It could run everything that runs under windows, and that's a lot
It could than also run a browser (google chrome for instance)
It could leverage Microsoft Office, which I believe still has a large market share

Would a windows based Tablet have the lowest barrier on entry for eReader applications ? Probably yes.
On the same line, there would be Linux based Tablets, but they don't have so many ready to go applications. For instance OpenOffice is still lagging a bit behind MS Office (personal opinion, of course).

MS Windows based tablets would nevertheless still to face some challenges:

Boot time : You don't want to wait 30 seconds for you ebook to 'boot' before reading
Security Management : You don't want your eReader to freeze while working because some Anti-Virus needs to start now...
